A compact, heavy display sans with tall proportions and a tightly packed, condensed stance. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and most joins and corners are softened into rounded-rectangle shapes, giving counters a squarish, superellipse feel. Edges are subtly irregular, creating a slightly distressed, inked look rather than a perfectly geometric finish. The lowercase is prominent and tall, with simple, sturdy forms and compact apertures; numerals follow the same dense, block-like construction for strong, uniform color.
Best suited to short-form display settings where impact is the priority: posters, headlines, product packaging, and bold branding moments. It can also work for logo wordmarks and event graphics, especially where a compact, rugged texture helps differentiate the lettering.
The overall tone is bold and attention-grabbing, balancing utilitarian toughness with a friendly, slightly quirky softness from the rounded corners. The mild roughness adds a handmade, poster-like energy that reads as casual and expressive rather than clinical.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a narrow footprint while keeping forms approachable through rounded-rectangle geometry. The slightly distressed outlines suggest an intention to evoke printed, stamped, or hand-inked texture for character and warmth in display typography.
Spacing appears tight and the internal counters are relatively small, which increases perceived darkness and makes the type feel punchy at headline sizes. The irregular contouring is consistent across letters and figures, so the texture reads as an intentional stylistic choice rather than random noise.
